Microsoft Personal Web Server (PWS) for Windows 95 turns any Windows 95 computer into a Web server and enables easy publication of personal Web pages. Easy to install and administer, PWS simplifies sharing information on their corporate Intranets or Internet for all users. PWS is ideal for developing, testing and staging Web applications, as well as peer-to-peer publishing with its support for sharing files over HTTP and FTP protocols. Just like Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS), PWS supports all ISAPI extensions and CGI scripts. PWS has been optimized for interactive workstation use, and does not have the system requirements of a full Web server such as IIS.
It is designed for small-scale peer-to-peer or small Web server usage. As your Web Server needs continue to grow, Microsoft offers a full range of Internet/Intranet Web server products that run on Windows NT Workstation to the powerful enterprise-based solution, Windows NT Server.
The software is fully integrated into the Windows 95 Task Bar and Control Panel, making it easy for users to start and stop HTTP and FTP services whenever they wish.
